Dynegy to Nearly Double Capacity With $6.25 Billion in Deals

Power Company to Buy Plants From Duke, Energy Capital

Dynegy Inc. will nearly double its power-generating capacity when it buys 21 plants for $6.25 billion from Duke Energy Corp. and Energy Capital Partners, another milestone in the power company's resurgence.

The pair of deals announced on Friday signal that the Houston-based company intends to be a survivor in a bruising deregulated electricity business with few players left.
